Frimley Green Memories
My Dad was Charles Cheyne, the village chemist in Frimley Green - famous for his cough medicine - the report in the local Camberley News when he died in 1963 reported "It was dark brown in colour and had no name. Word spread far and wide about Mr Cheyne's cough cure, and soon people were sending for his medicine by post from as far away as Gibraltar and Holland." My Mum was Joan Jarman - the local District Nurse, and one can only guess how she and my dad got together - bearing in mind their professions! I have lovely memories of living over the shop - and particularly our telephone number there - Deepcut 5! Dad had moved to Frimley Green in 1928 and opened his own chemist shop at 261 Frimley Green Road - it is still a Pharmacy today, but owned by a large chain rather than private. I would love to hear from anybody who remembers my Mum or Dad, and the time when Frimley Green was a real village.

RE: RE: Frimley Green Memories
Yes, I remember Cheyne the chemists back in the 1950s, we used to get medicine made up there after a visit to our doctor at Frimley Green, Dr Nigel Rust from memory. I used to walk along Frimley Toad to school from Mytchett, I have just remembered the name of a boy I went to school with who lived close by there, George Goatley. Memories are great things to recall. I can pass a pleasant hour or two over a cup of tea, thinking about growing up in Mytchett/Frimley Green.
